Legionella Compliance Services
Protect your building occupants with certified risk assessments, water management plans, and rapid remediation — fully compliant with ASHRAE 188, CDC guidelines, and local regulations.
Comprehensive Legionella Risk Management
Legionella bacteria thrive in building water systems — cooling towers, hot water tanks, decorative fountains, and HVAC equipment — posing a serious public health risk when conditions allow amplification and aerosolization. Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia that can be fatal, and building owners and operators have a legal and moral obligation to manage this risk.
RW Water Services provides end-to-end legionella compliance programs tailored to your facility type, occupancy, and regulatory environment. Our certified specialists conduct thorough risk assessments, develop site-specific Water Management Plans (WMPs), perform culture and PCR testing through accredited laboratories, and deliver rapid remediation when needed.
Whether you're new to water management plans or proactively protecting a healthcare facility or new building, our team has the expertise and certifications to keep your water systems safe and compliant.
